Cardiac effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.
ACE inhibitors have provided a major advance in cardiovascular therapeutics. The rationale for their use in hypertension and heart failure, and their cardiac effects are well documented. Further information is required on the relevance of their direct myocardial and other tissue effects, and it is likely that their use in hypertension and heart failure will increase further over the next several years.
